The Mighty Philbert Podcast
Welcome to The Mighty Philbert — the channel where we dig deep, ask hard questions, and refuse to smile politely at bad theology. Whether you're crawling out of evangelicalism, recovering from purity culture, or just wondering why your Sunday school teacher thought dinosaurs rode the Ark, you're in the right place.
Hosted by a proud GenX survivor of church trauma and theological gaslighting, this channel serves up weekly doses of counter-apologetics, Christian deconstruction, and cultural commentary with a heavy side of sarcasm and '90s nostalgia. We’re talking real talk about religion, belief, and how to rebuild your worldview without all the baggage.
New episodes every week. Bring your questions, bring your doubts — and maybe your flannel.
Because sometimes faith needs a second opinion.

S01E18 Will Labubu Dolls Drag Your Children to Hell
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Labubu dolls are not possessed. But the people making viral videos about them? Might be possessed by the spirit of the 1980s Satanic Panic.
In this episode of The Mighty Philbert, we refute a wildly popular video claiming Labubu dolls are demonic, cause paranormal activity, and are gateways to witchcraft. We take a sarcastic, hard-hitting look at this ridiculous claim and trace it back to decades of evangelical fear-mongering — from Smurfs to Slayer to Scooby-Doo.
We’ll also explore the real dangers of demon-obsession by sharing the heartbreaking story of Anneliese Michel — a young woman who died after 67 exorcisms — and ask why these moral panics keep resurfacing.
